I am so fed up of this damn anaemia. So little energy to do anything - as if it wasn’t challenging enough already!
I am grateful for the NHS, but my GP shouldn’t have to fight ridiculously hard to get gastro to agree to an iron infusion.

For the past two years I have been a mentee on the ‘Pathways into Children’s Publishing’ course.
It has been an amazing experience, and we are now trying to raise funds to show our final work at London Book Fair next month.

The #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is an emperor penguin that came strolling past me as I laid quietly on the ice and watched it just be a penguin. Which includes being curious, a bit wary, but mostly seemingly unbothered. By anything really.

King penguins preening, loafing and probably sleeping is today's #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD. King penguins are the second largest penguin species alive today, but still only about half the size of the largest, the emperor.

To any potential reviewers: when I publish our emperor penguin tracks I want you to know that kids gave our penguins names like Big Mac Turbo 2000, Sparkles, & Golden Princess. And they will, nonnegotiably, be referred to as such in the paper. Thank you for understanding.

Super frustrated at delivery couriers right now. Being disabled, I rely a lot on online shopping.
Yodel was meant to deliver a parcel last week. They just left it in their depot and didn’t bother. Had to contact the shop so they could get it back and re-send it.

The #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is from last year right around this time when I was at Atka Bay with the emperor penguins there. This colony moved substantially in the couple of weeks I was there.

How they thought it was a good idea to allow AI to sum up search results without teaching it what a fact is, still boggles my mind.
